About “Pineal Gland”

The first single from Ab-Soul’s first album, Control System.

According to Hindu tradition, above the forehead is the Sahasraram Chakra or Thousand-Petalled Lotus, which is related to the pineal gland. It’s located at the top of the head. It relates to the sound current and the faculty of clairvoyant hearing, and is the most spiritual of all the chakras. When this chakra is fully developed, union with God-consciousness is possible, and Illumination takes place.

In human anatomy, the pineal gland sits above the midbrain. It is notable for secreting melatonin, an important hormone for sleep cycles.
